Hi everyone.
September is quickly winding down, and yesterday we wrapped up the Going Round in Circles challenge at Try It on Tuesday. Thanks to all of you who joined us for this challenge.
Our next challenge is perfect for this time of year in Northern Hemisphere and also with Canadian Thanksgiving coming up. For the next two weeks our challenge is
AUTUMN BLESSINGS
This time we ask you make some art (any format is accepted) that celebrates autumn.
My page is a little different than my usual style and used several die cuts, some fall colored cardstock papers, a couple of stamps, and my Posca paint pens. I attached these to some ink sprayed watercolor paper.
This page took awhile to make because I had to dig out the die for the flowers, ferns and other stems. They were definitely needing a little love. Smile. The birds are stamped twice, once in black on my page, and then on some white paper in brown ink. I fussy cut them and drew in the details. The quote is a really ancient one from Technique Tuesday and Allie Edwards. I finished the page by putting on some white paint dots (which were then immediately squished to form bigger blobs), and a couple of pieces of foil paper images.
Be sure to check out what the rest of the design team has created for this Autumn Blessings theme. There's some great inspiration if you aren't feeling the new season quite yet. This latest challenge runs for the next 2 weeks.
Thanks for visiting my blog, and I hope to see your autumn art at Try It On Tuesday.

Fabulous page, Erika, love the beautiful embellishments you used! Have a great dayy, hugs, Valerie
This is really beautiful! Happy Fall :-)
Such a beautiful page! I love the autumnal colours of the beautiful foliage and flowers with the pretty birds, they really stand out against the texture of the sprayed watercolour - perfect 😀. Thanks for the inspiration and wishing you a lovely week! Hugs Jo x
This is just stunning Erika! LOVE all your die-cuts as well as all that yummy color! (and football as well! Go Bears! LOL). Have a fabulous fall! ((HUGS)) Helen
I love the fall colors against that muted blue sky.
Gorgeous page Erika! I love all of the flowers and the extra details you gave them, fabulous sentiment too, it covers so many wonderful things about autumn! I hope you are doing well.
Take care, Tammy
Beautiful page - even if I don´t like this looooong time of the year.
Gosh. Trees are either filled with green leaves or brown ones on the ground - it does not change, how weird.
Gatherings... hm. Not in sight. But Football! We get it on TV now!!! And I have a tiny (fake) fireplace right at my PC. Hugs x
Oh, P.S. ... I´d walk back and get another humidifier for you. But it´s no use. I have a parcel since two months for Tom here - The USA do not take parcels from Germany due to Covid and my postie says... not even come Christmas around. Same with Australia. We live in weird times. Sad...
Gorgeous Autumn folliage, and I love the birdies!
Hugs,
Alison
Your piece definitely fits the theme, Erika. And it's a good one for these two weeks.
A fabulous page Erika, I love the autumn colours and the die cuts you used . make me want to reach out and touch the page.
Those birds look sweet as well. Have a good rest of the week.

Beautiful page and kudos to your hubs also. It’s great to be able to look around and see projec6s that you have successfully completed to your liking. Autumn blessings to you.
I love the Autumn and I love your art here.
All the best Jan
What a fabulous bunch of Autumn treasures . It looks great on your soft blue background. Hugs, Chrisx
A lovely page Erika and I love the stitched effect some of the die cuts have by adding the pen detail. Love the background making everything 'pop'

A beautiful Autumnal bouquet, topped off with that sweet little bird. Definitely worth the time you spent digging them out, a lovely little display with it's sentiment and added foliage doodles.
I say each year I must get my dies organised, I spend more time searching than cutting. Hugs Tracey xx
